Weblink – the direct click to the shortage report
The new web link function makes it easy to display defects and integrate business partners into digital defect management.
Is digitalisation a sure-fire success?
Digitalisation, Industry 4.0, BIM (Building Information Modelling), cloud computing, mobile working – all buzzwords that are currently electrifying the construction industry and promising the greatest progress:
Work processes are being simplified, accelerated, more networked, less error-prone – in short: more economical.
But why is it that the implementation of optimising software is still in its infancy in many companies and not in seven-league boots? The reason for this reluctance is not the technology, but rather the people themselves. They are creatures of habit – familiar processes give them security and they are reluctant to abandon them. The Chamber of Industry and Commerce’s (IHK) Business Barometer on Economy 4.0 statistically confirms that one of the biggest hurdles to digitalisation is the qualification of employees – their further training is the top priority in this context.
The edr software concept for success is: your bridge to digital!
To counteract fear of contact and excessive demands, business partners need to be guided step by step from analogue paths onto the digital data highway. All beginnings are difficult? Not at all! Exceptions are known to prove the rule. The new docma®MM web link function makes digital defect management extremely easy for everyone involved. When automatically creating defect letters, the user automatically embeds the web link or a scannable QR code in VOB letters or emails to direct responsible subcontractors to an easy-to-use response form with just one click. No registration and no detours! With the decisive advantage of being able to optionally receive a photo of the processing and feedback on the status, e.g. to have defects approved or cancelled, as quickly as possible.
Several paths lead to the goal
The web link can reach the recipient in various ways – the decision on the type of delivery is made by the processor.
- PDF letter with integrated link
If the PDF letter is sent by e-mail, the link embedded in the PDF can be clicked directly.
- Web link in the email
The link integrated in the email accompanying the letter can be opened by the recipient without opening the letter.
- PDF letter with scannable QR code
If the recipient prints out the letter and passes it on to a site manager, for example, they can simply scan the printed barcode with their mobile phone or tablet and provide the relevant feedback.
Weblink mask – defect processing made easy!
The processing screen provides the recipient with a clear list of all the defects displayed, including photos and the necessary information on the deadline and location. Using the ‘Edit’ button, they can simply release the defects individually or collectively.
The ‘Comment’ field adds important information to the status message and the photo button can be used, for example, to take a picture of the defect being rectified.
A classic win-win situation
According to the IHK study, 93 percent of construction companies are of the opinion that increasing digitalisation will affect all business and work processes. It is therefore high time to jump on the digital bandwagon in order to set the course for future competitiveness! Users of the docma®MM web link are on the right track by supporting the necessary digitalisation of their business partners and thus benefiting from a significantly faster processing procedure.
